Jewellery Box

For my next project i decided to try something i had seen on www.thewoodwhisperer.com, this website is excellent and i strongly advise taking a look. loads of video's and good reading here.

I am limited with the told i have compared with thewoodwhisperer but decided to give it my best shot and created this which is a variation of the one on the site.

I started by purchasing some walnut for this project, bought it from Strahans in Rathcoole, Co. Dublin. I bought 2 4 foot lengths in both 1 x 6 and 2 x 6 i wanted enough so i had some more walnut to mess around with after this project. Good thing i did cause i botched the first effort, i was still learning the basics of the tools i had so it didn't upset me too much.

Third Project (Shelves for Baby Room)

For my third project i decided to start scaling up a bit. I was now quite comfortable using the scroll saw so i tried to incorporate still using it into a bigger project so i came up with the idea of a 4 shelf unit for my sons room. I decided on a unit that had the letters A, B and C on each side.
